Based on those results your honey will grow to have around 490 mg/kg of MG after 136 weeks, which is equivalent to an NPA/UMF of about 15+. We find about 90-95% of honeys of that grade pass the MPI test as monofloral manuka, so it's almost certainly worth a try.

If it wasn't so expensive, it would be worth re-stirring, sampling and retesting. There is a whole science in manufacturing concerning proper mixing, stirrer types and sampling, and I would guess that if the manuka was particularly thixotropic, it would take a long time to slowly stir - to not cream to get a tank truly blended. I am so old I had to attend lectures on it all.

yea it was mixed over night at least 15 hours. because the honey was so thick it looked like jelly when i was trying to put it in the drums. the last bit in the tank didn't even run into the drums. i had to push it to the hole at the bottom, and the bottom of my tank has a good lean towards the hole.
